[Lao Feng]

G&B is advertising an Expo Size 40R for $299 under their "clearance" section. (Newly designed website as well). Happy hunting. Feng

So tempted... but who the heck needs another jacket? Especially in Texas.

that's really funny cuz as soon as I saw that post I clicked on the flight suits website but I closed it before it loaded cuz I thought I can't get a closer raiders then my kelso.........but then, I keep thinking, "its a gibson and they are some darn fine jackets!"

I can relate! I saw this too and started counting 'pennies' and then remembered that I need to get one of Wade's bags next month -- and, I (don't tell my wife, I said this) do have enough jackets (well, for now, anyway) ! W>

Gorak, when I made my Texas comment, I was actually thinking of your ever growing collection.

Too small and too short

If this were a 36R it would be mine right this moment! I hope someone out there grabs this up while they still can. The expedition goat is one of the toughest jackets going. I've owned two over the years. Jackets I bought second hand and later sold due to sizing issues. I'm currently in the market for a Expedition goat in my proper size. Maybe one of these days one will go on sale for me!

Yeah, the other thing holding me back is size. I wear a slim 40, or sometimes a 38, but I've heard that G&B's are slightly oversized in the chest. Can anyone confirm that?

I know, I know, just give them a call... but that would put me just one step closer to buying something.

I wear a 38 regular and the lamb G&B I used to own fit great. So, for what that is worth, yes. However, I have also read and heard, mostly here, some people have had sizing issues with their jackets, as you suggest. Maybe I just got lucky. Like every manufacturer out there, it seems there are variances. All of my Westeds (minus Dr. Who -- which is S, M, L, etc. situation) are 38's minus one which is a very old version of their pre-distressed in cowhide which for some reason they labled as 40 reg, but fits me like a glove. So, I guess -- who knows? I have always been pretty lucky with sizings on clothes, for the most part, but with hats -- whole 'nother story. W>
